Where by contain, you mean what, exactly? yield when iterated? yield
when indexed?

Did we ever determine a case for non-typesafe (ie, in terms of code
units rather than code points) indexing?

If not, how will users ever see that these strings are not vectors of
code points?

Is the behaviour of such an accessor not necessarily defined, or are
we expected to provide accessors that give results for specific
normalisations?

Have I mixed up my units and points again?
